I'm starting to learn about VW Bugs because I think that it will be an affordable way for me to build a simple, affordable, but fun recreational (initially anyway) desert rig and to get into racing.
I have a quick question regarding the torsion leaves in the front end of though. When I see the bugs with the coilovers shocks have they removed the torsion leaves from the torsion bars?
I ask this because as I'm reading "Baja Bugs & Buggies" by Jeff Hibbard it seems that the torsion leaves provide the spring resistance that the coils or leaf springs would normally provide.
This is true correct. . .and so if you run coilovers there's no need for the torsion leaves, but the torsion leaves would be an affordable starting point?
Thanks!
